Tool like wget to upload?

I am currently trying to put together some scripts that will upload data
from a client to a web server, probably within a http POST request (to a
cgi script). POST allows quite a bit of data to be uploaded in a request.

Is anyone aware of a program that can accomplish this upload of data to a
web server? Or any other ideas on how a client can upload data like this,
preferably to a web server?

Sounds as if 'curl' could be used.

Remove +SIGNS and www. if you expect an answer, sorry for
inconvenience, but I get tons of SPAM

The LWP module of Perl comes with (optional) command-line applications
GET and POST - doing what can be expected from the names. They work
very nicely at least as debugging tools.

Fantastic, thanks! I forgot about curl, but it sports many useful options
for my purpose such as --data-binary

I use sitecopy for this, but via ftp. sitecopy supports ftp and webdav.
